A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
Some Facts Demonstrated by the Recent
State Elections.

State Elections.
3 The elections demonstrate beyond
cavil that Grover Cleveland will be
the Democratic standard-bearer for
President in the campaign of 1888.
The result in the State of New York
settles the question beyond a peradven-
ture. From this time forward there
will be no talk in the Democratic party
favoring the nomination OF any other
distinguished Democrat for President
There will be no discussions relating
to probabilities nor possibilities. There
will be no intimations of dark horses.
The Empire State, Grover Cleveland's
State, has Endorsed the administration
of Grover Cleveland. and this indorse-
ment solidiies the Democratic party
throughout the country. The verdict
of New York unifes the Democracy of
Indiana. Here there is not dissent
ing voice. Every doubt has disap-
peared. There has been opposition to
MIR. CIeveland's administration in the
ranks of Indiana Democracy, it We're
folly to deny. That misgivings have
existed relative to his leadership is
we'll known, and yet from first to last
there has existed a profound respect
for President Cleveland. His honesty
of purpose has never been questioned,
and the doubts and fears honestly en-
tertained have been for months disap-
appearing. and now they are gone
gone not to be revived.
While the result of the recent cleo
tions are of the most cheerful signif-
canoe to the Democratic party, they
have been fruitful of the most dis
heartening consequences to the Repub-
lican party. The partyis now without
leader, as it is without a policy. The
Republican party looked to New York
hopefully. 1t saw, or thought it saw,
in the Henry George movement, in the
fight between Fellow and Nicoll, and
in the name of Grant, chance for sue
cess, for inspiration, for the renewal
of it's vitality, for the Endorsement of
bloody-shirtism, of the sectional hate
and a Republican triumph in 1888. Its
disappointment is overwhelming and
demoralizing. 1t relegates Blaine to
the rear and does not advance John
Sherman's fortunes to the extent of
milligram or millimeter. Blaine
will hear the news in Europe and con-
veniently postpone his return. John
Sherman's temperature will 60 nearer
to zero than usual, and the field will
have % be reraked for man who can
carry New Yerk against Grover Cleve-
land. 80 ~
1t will not be denied that the Repub-
licans nursed pleasant hopes of success
in Virginia, but the overthrow of Ma
hone and Riddleberger redeems the
grand old State from the insufferable
stigmas which these men had heaped
upon her name, and says to the Repub-
lican party and its heresies-avaunt.
All things considered, the result of the
elections is satisfactory, and the out
look full of cheer. -Iadiandpo Eis Senti-

SECTIONAL HATRED.
The Despfcabfe Spirit in Which fsepuh
lican Papers Discuss Southern Affairs.

The Despicabfe Spirit in Which Eepub-
Hcan Papers Discuss Southern Affairs.
1t is not easy to understand the sec
tional spirit in which certain Repub-
ican papers have treated the recent
assassination of four white men and
the subsequent troubles growing out
of labor disturbance in louisiana
The people of that State and of every
other Southern State where the negroes
are plentiful have a problem which
presents the difficulties of the labor
question at the North complicated with
the race question. They are honest,
patriotic people. doing their best, ac-
cording to the intelligence of their
age. Accepting the judgment of their
age, they are educating the negro in
the earnest hope that education is the
solution or all the problems of civili-
cation. They can not see into the fut-
ure to determine whether they will fail
or not; and they can trust only to the
existing order,'' and they are ready
to make as many sacrifices to maintain
it as are the people of Illinois to main
tain theirs. Those whose prejudices
lead them to sectionalism should take
care lest they be condemned out of
their own mouths, for in the abstract
there is no difference between the
break and the Chicago riot. There
is need that all Americans should
stand by the American constitution
and endeavor to avert the conse-
quences of past mistakes. that consti-
tutional liberty may be preserved.
Whatever difficulties the future pre-
sents, the principles of the constitu-
ton are the only political guide. on
which implicit reliance can be placed
A people united in these principle
may hope to escape the heaviest con-
sequences of its sins as people, but
how can this be if Illinois and LOUISE
ana are to be arrayed against each
other, the one condemning in the other
what it justifies in itself? The edi-
torials which deal with the Haymarket
and Louisiana riots are startling in
their inconsistency as they appear,
cheek by jowl, in the editorial columns
of such newspapers as the Chicago
Tribune. They do not stop to con-
slider the conclusion from the logic
which palliates murder in Louisiana.
They appear to be altogether ignorant
of the meaning of that solidarity"
which is the watchword in the mouths
of that element of Northern popula-
ton which answers to the dangerous
class" in louisiana 1t ignores every
thing except what it foolishly believes
is a partisan advantage from a sec
tional policy to be pursued in treating
all questions from the infinitely great
to the infinitely little.-St. Louis Re

BEFORE THE CONTEST,
Why Darkness Is Settling On the Part
of Blaine and Sherman.

Why Darkness LIS Settling On the Party
@ of Blaine and sherman.
Mr.. Blaine is still in Europe. He is
not to blame for the ills that befen his
party in New York, and if his party
have no chance to. win in the next
National campaign, he can say, doubt
less with truth, that he does not want
the nomination. However. if the DEM
ocrats name .'the old ticket" the Re-
publican party may become emotional
and ask Blaine to make the race again.
How would the Plumed Knight relish
the fame of having been twice de-
feated, and with an increasing ma
jority against him? He is a hopeful
man, but the result in New York must
have startled him.
The Encouragement of Blaine has
given hope to Sherman. He could at
ford to be defeated. He is rich enough
to accept the nomination and pay for
the headquarters printing out of his
own purse, being no LONGER Secretary
of the Treasury. He is candidate
who would, perhaps, satisfy Wall
street better than does Mr.. Cleveland
Mr. Sherman might carry Ohio, Penn
sylvania and other doubtful States. 1t
is Uncomfortable that a convention,
where spirits are high and enthusiasm
prevails, should nominate Sherman.
The nomination might fall on his chief
of-delegation, if a likely man, but on
Sherman himself seems too far
from the character of the people.
They like man with warm blood in
his veins. Yet, if Sherman should
once get the nomination he might run

perience and a brother of the General
who marched through Georgia.
From the West there comes the echo
of Allison's boom. Allison could car

States. Mr.. Allison, without knowing
much about finance. has an enviab BILE
reputation as a monetary expert He
is in the inner circle of the Senate. be-

as luridly as Sherman can. and no more.

doubtful States, but the New Workers.
would have fought him on the culture
line. Still, the Republican party may
well mourn the loss of a man who was
honest, and inspired his followers with
a decided belief that they could and
would win. Conkling is out of the
question; if Blaine could do nothing
else he could prevent a Republican, vic
tory under ConkHng. If there be an

IN A TIGHT PLACE.
The Pitiable Condition of the sParty Of
Moral Ideas."

The Pitiable Condition of the ssParty Of
Moral Ideas"
The recent election in this State has
made very considerable change in
the plan of campaign which the ..party
OF moral ideas had mapped out for
next year. Mr.. Blaine's stock went
down with a rush when it was found
that the man who was to swing the
Empire State for him utterly failed to
swing even one Republican official into
the capitol.
After the famous combine" last
January, had lifted Frank Hiscock
from one House of Congress into an
other, and he returned to Washington
to receive the congratulations of his
brother members, he forthwith COM
menced setting up the pins for Mr..
Blaine in this State, moved by graft
tude. as he said, for what Mr.. Blaine
had done for him. He admitted SUBJ
stantially that his own election was
due to the friends of MIR. Blaine work
ing upon the supporters of Mr.. Morton,
with that gentleman's assent, and by
an arrangement with them had re-
stored harmony in the Republican
party that would ensure the carrying
of the Empire State for Blaine.
Mr. Hiscock's declaration to his col
leagues in the house. last January,
that ''all things will now pull together
in New York and Blaine will be
nominated" received such cold
douche on November 8, that it may be
considered as Indefinitely modified.
Mr.. Blaine can not any longer depend
upon having the Empire State swung
into line for him by Senator Hiscock.
and it will be considerable uphill
work for him to .'magnetise' the New
York delegation at the next National
convention.
1t is not at all unlikely that the grab
bag will have to be resorted to by that
body, with number of names put
into it which would never have been
thought of had Senator Hiscock and
his master. tom" Plat. succeeded in
carrying the State. Mr.. Sherman is
looked upon now in Ohio as merely a
fossil, or specimen of extinct man.
NAL, since Foraker acquired, with his
election, that peculiar and unfortunate
appendage known to politicians as
'.swelled head" He regards himself
now as Ohio's favorite son, and will
stoutly contest the claims of any
rival.
Judge Gresham again looms up as a
candidate for the grab-bag, and. per-
haps, MIR. Allison's name may be found
in the same receptacle. Senator Gull
lom and Ben Harrison also hope for
chances in the proposed lottery. The
hopes of the Republicans are now re-
duced to keeping other Northern
States from following the example of
New York. The State is hopelessly
lost to them, having declared against
them six consecutive times. With Mr..
Blaine in the field. there is every reason
for them to expect to lose Massachu-
sets and several other Northern
States. Without Mr.. Blaine, how can
they hope to ''magnetize' the party
and fire the Northern heart? As the
Cleveland Plain Dealer pithily ex-
presses it: ''The situation is as dis
.tressing as an unlighted pipe in biz
.zard. There only remains the grab
bag full of Presidential aspirants. Let
them blindfold Halstead and tell him
to draw the lucky or unlucky name. -
